    When you guys are pricing out an OS/OL load that will require a permit, do you give the customer the all in price (inclusive of the permit fees) or do you tell the customer it will be $x plus whatever the permit fees are?

    Ours is broken down, rate, FSC, Pilots, & anything else gets labeled under contract services. We do quite a few OS/OW trailers from the factory to our customer, they need DOT inspections, temporary plates & various other things before we deliver them, that stuff falls under contract services & they pay a premium for having us do it.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Not as in go find a DOT man & have him inspect it, but an annual inspection by a state certified inspection station.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Yeah I knew what you meant, I thought new trailers were exempt for the first year.

    Never heard or seen that, could be though. It may just be a state by state thing, or it could just be a customer preferred thing.

    I do know when I picked up my new trailer in January, it had a federal dot inspection sticker & the accompanying paperwork, but that was done by the dealer, not the factory.
     
    johndeere4020, Oxbow and Ruthless Thank this.

    Turns out it was think you’re right, the dealer can sticker it.
